4-20-21 Reds vs D-backs 6:40pm

He’s only 29, so unless there is a rip in the space time continuum, he won’t hit 50 for 20 more years.

Tell that to his bat.

Man I love Geno but he has been awful this year chasing that down and away breaking pitch.

That's bad enough, but he can't hit very hit-able pitches either! I hope he can at least have contact that results in a fair ball 50 times this season!

[NebraskaRed]

Reds fall out of first place with that loss.

[KeefeCato]

umps stole this one, let's win the next one.

Yes and if they go on to lose this division by one game we can look back to this game.

Thanks to the Umpires and the Padres playing like garbage against the Brewers.

[Wonderful Monds]

I don’t think Suarez is gonna hit 50 this year, you guys.

what makes you think that?

I said about 3-4 weeks ago having a solid experienced closer could make a difference of 15 games. Well, the closer didn't blow this one or the other vs Dbacks or Giants where Reds held a lead that was not maintained. But nevertheless it's blown and that is number 2 already. Reds should of had a chance at this win IF Garrett had of done his job and the freaking rain had not made it almost impossible to throw last night when Sims hit that guy and then walked in a runner.

Suarez is totally lost. He needs to sit for awhile

Garrett facing two LHH should have shut the DBacks down.

Antone is the one who blew the lead though

Looks to me that he is trying to pull outside pitches. Pitchers know this and pitching him outside.

Reds need to win the next 2 quite badly

[Mitri]

Dbacks are a scrappy team and better than their record (that's my take, others may differ). Reds faced their best starter and lost their lead because the best reliever gave up a HR. Dbacks were only 2-13 with RISP.

As far as losses go, this one is no big deal.

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree. But the way things went down in the top of the 8th last night was not normal and not okay.

Okay, but I really don't think griping about it makes the team win this game, or tomorrow's game. Time to move one, it's a long season. Forget about yesterday.
